Pc is about 6 years old. PSU (Corsair TX650w) is 1 year old.
I get random pc lockups. Screen freezes, with the hdd light on steady. The only way out is a reboot.
Then, more recently the computer fails to start. The post messages get up to detecting the ide drives then it stops with the hdd light on steady. I can hear the hdd try to run. But my boot priority is floppy, dvd, drive C: and it does not try to detect or run those.
I ran WDdlg deep scan and saw no obvious problems.
Speed fan shows a very high temp in what I think is a mother board chip?
The 127 is an obvious problem if it is accurate and the 42 is high also.
I seem to have good ventilation and I would think at that temp I'd see some visual signs of distress,(like smoke!).
